Chapter 88: Everything is inevitable
By the time we arrived in Aoba, it was already dawn. Chen Xiaoqiu insisted on entering the office with me, and I could only be stupidly stared at by her, and told the air what happened this night.
The voice fell, and the office was so quiet that you could hear the sound of a needle dropping. The sun outside had risen to the window, and the cellophane couldn't block the rays of sunlight.
I was waiting with bated breath for Aoba's people to give me a hint, but I didn't expect my right hand to be raised uncontrollably, and I slapped it heavily on the forehead, and my head suddenly fell back.
Chen Xiaoqiu was frightened by my sudden movements, and asked in a daze, "What's wrong with you?" What comes to mind? ”
My hands were already on my knees, and my palms and head were cold, and I woke up.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong." I apologize.
Chen Xiaoqiu was still confused.
I can only slander Aoba's bad temper in my heart. It must have been Ye Qing who had attached to me just now. However, he must have had good intentions when he hit me like that. This time I was too impulsive.
I took a deep breath and asked, "What now?" ”
Chen Xiaoqiu couldn't catch up with my rhythm, but he kept quiet.
I squeezed my right hand, and without waiting for Aoba's reply, I couldn't help frowning, "There are already four people dead, and I don't know how many people died before, and if you don't catch that evil ghost, the tragedy will continue to happen." ”
Chen Xiaoqiu's mobile phone rang. She glanced at the screen, "It's my uncle." "When connected, the phone rustled with electrical interference. Chen Xiaoqiu walked out with the phone and opened the door of the Aoba office.
"Idiot, use your dreams."
I was excited, and I subconsciously turned my head, and there was no one around, but there was a noticeable dent on the sofa, and it gradually disappeared because of the rebound, as if there was a person sitting there, and now I got up and left.
I opened my mouth and couldn't utter a syllable.
Not a cue, not a sound, but a sound.
It gives me a creepy feeling.
Ye Qing either changed from being a stranger and alienated to gradually accepting me and treating me as a friend, or his strength was increasing and he could make more moves.
I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
The people of Aoba themselves have said that people and ghosts have different paths, and ghosts should not exist in the mortal world.
"My uncle came and asked me what I was doing. You...... What are you looking at? Chen Xiaoqiu hung up the phone and came back.
"It's nothing, it seems to have a feeling." I didn't tell Chen Xiaoqiu the truth.
I realized that my original choice might have been wrong. I regarded the four of them as friends, so I didn't hide these things, shared them and shared them, but these things are not ordinary acts of righteousness and bravery, not seeing a thief, everyone grabbed people and sent them to the police station, but someone fell into the deep pool of the reservoir, and a group of us who couldn't swim held hands to form a human chain to save people. It's too dangerous!
"What's wrong with you? What just happened? Aoba's people appeared? Chen Xiaoqiu asked.
"No, it's probably complicated, and they can't help it." I had an idea, "Otherwise, let's try it with a living master." Aoba is not the only one in this world who deals with supernatural problems. ”
"Huh!"
My whole body tensed, and I restrained myself from turning my head.
Chen Xiaoqiu raised his eyes and looked at the seat opposite me.
I realized something wasn't good.
"Lynch, have you ever wondered why we're going to have this kind of thing?" Chen Xiaoqiu suddenly spoke.
I was stunned, and a feeling of absurdity arose in my heart.
"I don't believe in fate, but I believe that there are no coincidences in this world. If you look at it roughly, the occurrence of Z is just an accident. For example, if you are involved in the affairs of Wang Hongzhang and Wang Hong, it is a coincidence, right? But if you want to fill in the chain from A to Y, from your birth, to your study, work, and job transfer, and then list the life experiences of Wang Hongzhang and Wang Hong, and put them into the background of urban development, you will find that you will inevitably meet, and this node of meeting is the demolition project of the six villages of workers and farmers. Chen Xiaoqiu said, "I'm the same. Lan Lan went to drama school, I was pulled by her to participate in dramas, and there was a problem with the kimono, which was also inevitable. ”
I can understand Chen Xiaoqiu's thoughts. It's a bit fatalistic, but it's not. She believes that this inevitability is caused by practical reasons, and can even be traced back to the birth of the universe: the universe will inevitably be born, human beings will inevitably appear, and our ancestors will reproduce like this for generations. When it comes to a certain individual, it starts with the family. "Chen Xiaoqiu" will definitely grow into what he is now, and if he is raised with this temperament, he will have exactly the same experience. Just as after planting a seed, soil, temperature, rain, and sunlight affect the growth of the seed, and when these factors become determined, then the growth process and the appearance of the seed are also determined. Humans may not be sure of that many factors, but that doesn't mean they're random. Therefore, "Chen Xiaoqiu" must be such a Chen Xiaoqiu with such an experience.
The supernatural events we are encountering now are also inevitable. We don't know why because we know very little.
I don't agree with Chen Xiaoqiu's concept, but the "inevitability" in Chen Xiaoqiu's mouth makes me feel a sense of fear.
"Don't try to exclude us, even if you think you're protecting us, in fact, when you're deceiving, you're giving us the wrong information, and when it matters most, we're going to make the wrong judgment." Chen Xiaoqiu mercilessly accused me, "We are destined to have something to do with these things, and you can't stop them even if you want to." In this way, it is better for us to figure out a way together. Isn't Wang Hong's matter something we can find a way to solve together? ”
I shook my head helplessly, "You really can't help with this. The people of Aoba just said that the key is in those dreams of mine. ”
Chen Xiaoqiu was stunned, "Okay." Your dreams are your dreams. But don't hide it from us anymore. ”
I nodded in agreement, not persuaded by Chen Xiaoqiu, but found that I couldn't show no trace in front of her. As she said, if she conceals it like this, it may lead her to investigate on her own, which is even more dangerous.
Glancing at the sofa opposite me, I asked Chen Xiaoqiu, "Do you think this is all inevitable?" ”
"Yes." Chen Xiaoqiu is sure.
"So, what's the reason?" I asked, "What will be connected after that Z?" ”
"I don't know. Extrapolating only from what is happening so far, the best case scenario is that we will continue to encounter this kind of supernatural event, get close to the truth of Aoba's disappearance, surpass them, and the demolition will be successful. ”
"Worst of all, are we all dead?" I asked softly.
"Yes." Chen Xiaoqiu remained calm.
And that's true, worst-case scenario.
I clenched my right fist.
Chen Xiaoqiu said that if he didn't hide it, he really didn't hide it, and he kept urging me with his eyes after going to work.
I had no choice but to tell what was happening in the detention center and the office.
The thin man barely squeezed out a smile, "Then, Brother Qi, you are the man chosen by fate, and you are hanging!" From now on, I'm going to be the protagonist! When will you accept a few female ghosts as little sisters? ”
Guo Yujie was more concerned about the follow-up of the evil ghost, "What does a dream mean?" Killing ghosts in your dreams? But Lynch, you haven't made it yet, have you? ”
The fat man waited quietly for the thin man and Guo Yujie to finish speaking, and then said with a solemn expression: "I don't know if the four of you still remember something." ”
